Dear Brother William:--As I have time this afternoon, I thought I would embrace the opportunity to inform thee of our movements. On Fifth-day evening we arrived safely at the house of William E. Burling, who took us to meeting on Seventh-day. We had an excellent Select Meeting. On First-day morning there was a great gathering of the people. It was thought two thousand persons were in and around the house. We had a favored meeting; Truth reigned over all. In the afternoon we attended South Farmington, very much to our satisfaction. The stone seemed to be rolled away from the well's mouth, and the Spirit of the Lord poured forth. Elisha and Sarah Hunt were in company. This morning the business meeting opened very comfortably, and the prospect is that we shall have a good Yearly Meeting. We have none of the disorganizers present. They held a meeting last week. Two of the speakers who attended it are still in this part of the country, but not at our meeting. The only strangers present except E. and S. Hunt and ourselves, are Johnathan and Katie Hazzard, from Cornwall, N.Y. They are substantial Friends. Much love and unity seem to prevail among Friends here, thus, strengthening the belief that we shall have a good Yearly Meeting.
I cannot see when I shall get home, but I now think it will be as soon as I feel clear of this people. We have been quite well since we left home, and I feel much better than I did at the time of starting. Friends are very kind, and we are making our home, in company with E. and S. Hunt, at Walter Lawrence's. This is a beautiful country, and Friends all seem to be well off, and to have an abundance of the outward comforts of life. On receipt of this, please write to me, and direct to Rochester, N.Y.
With much love to all of father's family, and my dear daughter, I remain, thy brother in much
affection,
Samuel J. Levick
